Dakota Johnson is taking her time in her search for love. A source close to the actress toldPeoplethat the single star is not rushing into any new relationships afterher split from Chris Martinlast year.

The insider said she's "playing the field at the moment" and revealed that Johnson and Role Model (whose real name is Tucker Pillsbury) just had a casual connection after multiple public sightingssparked dating rumorsat the beginning of the year.

In November, a source toldthe outletthat Johnson had recently "been slowly dating again, and she's happy. Her relationship with Chris was often hot and cold, and while she always hoped they'd work out, she seems lighter and more at peace now that it's final."

The insider added that overall, she was "in a great place. She's busy, fulfilled, and she's moved on."

Johnson made headlines earlier this week for her new Calvin Klein campaign, where she posed in just bras, underwear, and jeans. She spoke toELLEabout the partnership, revealing how her idea of "hot" fashion has changed over time.

"I think the sexiest clothing items are the ones that make you feel good in your body," she said. "Feeling good in clothes changes your energy and physicality. Sometimes being in a big ratty T-shirt is the sexiest thing in the world. Sometimes being in lacy lingerie makes you feel like a garbage can. For me, it's all about the way something makes me feel."

This felt like the right time to partner with the brand, she said, as it "feels very symbiotic with where I am currently in my life. I'm at a place in my womanhood where I feel quite calm and centered. I spend a lot of time at home, I feel very comfortable in my body. Doing the denim and underwear campaign in the tone of very laid-back sensuality felt like it's just a sort of truth of where I'm at right now."

FormerDancing With the StarshostTom Bergeronleft the reality TV competition in 2019, after having been with the series since it debuted in 2005.

Tyra Banks, the former host ofAmerica's Next Top Model, eventually took over duties from Bergeron and Erin Andrews, a former competitor who had cohosted alongside Bergeron since 2014. (Current hosts are Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough.)

In between, however, radio personality Bobby Bones, who'd been paired with Sharna Burgess, and won the entire show in 2018, was a candidate to host, the two recalled this week on Bones'The BobbyCast.

"Before they went to Tyra Banks to replace me, they went to you, right?" Bergeron asked.

Bones answered, "Yes, but in full transparency, I was told you were leaving."

When Bergeron said he wasn't given a choice, Bones said he had simply been told that Bergeron was leaving at the end of the season. Would he want to host?

"I respected you so much," Bones said. "I was like, 'Hey, can I talk to Tom and get advice on this decision?'"

Bones alleged that he was told, "Contractually, we don't think you should do that."

To this, Bergeron said, "They are such weasels sometimes, aren't they?"

Entertainment Weeklyhas reached out to the show for comment.

Bergeron also took the opportunity to apologize to Bones for saying that Bones' win on the ABC series was the result that shocked him the most.

"It's funny you're asking about eliminations" Bergeron toldParadein November. "The thing that shocked me most was a win. Bobby Bones."

He went on to compare Bones with Andy Richter, who competed in 2025.

"He's charming and has such a big heart," Bergeron said of the former Conan O'Brien sidekick. "Do I think he's going to win? No. Do I think he's bringing a quality to the show that epitomizes what the show is? Absolutely. But Bobby Bones was the first time it was like, 'Ouch.' No disrespect to Bobby. He would probably say the same thing."

Bergeron told Bones that he regretted his choice of words.

"I felt terrible that the way I phrased my honest surprise at your win, I think the question to me was, 'What's the most shocking elimination?'" Bergeron said in their conversation. "I couldn't remember a shocking elimination. And I wish I had said, 'Well, this wasn't a shock, but it was a surprise when Bobby Bones won.'"

Bones noted that he found the comment "hurtful" and had returned his Mirrorball trophy.

"I didn't even want to be on the show," Bones said on TikTok. "I had no intention of being onDancing with the Stars. I was working on a different show at the network, they asked me to go on the show to promote. Am I supposed to not show up and work hard?"

In his conversation with Bones, Bergeron said, "The fact that it hurt your feelings and that you sent your trophy back, I felt terrible about that."

Dancing With the Starscrowned its most recent champion, Robert Irwin, in December.

The actress, 28, opened up about her body image struggles in an exclusive interview withUs Weeklypublished on Thursday, March 12. She told the outlet that she particularly struggled with accepting the size of her chest.

"I grew up with boobs. I was wearing a 32DD in sixth grade, and I never felt confident," she shared. "I never had anything I felt good in, and I just wanted to hide."

TheHousemaidactress said that it wasn't until she played Cassie in the HBO seriesEuphoria"that I started realizing it's actually powerful to be confident; our bodies are incredible."

"We should embrace [them] and feel really good in our skin," Sweeney continued.

The star explained that while she enjoyed Cassie's wardrobe, she still struggled with the fit of the clothing.

"I'd always be like, 'Oh, this fit doesn't work,'" she recalled. "'I don't have the support I want. The straps are digging into my shoulders or it's kind of itchy and riding up.'"

The experience eventually led her to start her own lingerie line,SYRN. "I started a whole Pinterest board of thousands of photos of inspiration, and I [thought], 'I should actually do this.' And we put it together," she said.

The actress told the magazine that she hopes to see her pieces on women of all types.

"My designers are all women, and I have an amazing diverse team," she said. "My models are a beautiful range of body types. I'm always like, 'I want to see it on every body.' I can't be the only model. I need to make sure everyone feels really good in it."

She alsodefended herself from criticismthat the brand was created for the male gaze.

"People will say, 'Oh, she's doing this for guys' or 'Oh, she's a guy's girl,' " she said. "But I'm like, 'What is more girl's girl than owning your body and doing it for yourself?' I want it to be their choice—the choice of the wearer—whether this is for them, for somebody else, or for a camera lens."

Later on in the interview she added, "Yeah, this is me reclaiming my body and my narrative and using it to empower other women."
